3D Models of Lamps, Lanterns and Lithophanes

This collection gathers STL files for lamps, lanterns and lithophane panels made for a home 3D printer. It covers character-themed lightboxes, gothic and fantasy lanterns, and small holders for tealights. The mix helps you pick a lighting project for a desk, a shelf or a themed corner of a room.

«3D Models of Lamps, Lanterns and Lithophanes»

Character and game-inspired lamps usually combine a box or a shaped shell with an LED strip, while lithophane designs rely on a thin printed panel whose thickness changes the picture when light passes through it. Lanterns and candle holders tend to be smaller, built from walls, cutouts and a base that carries the light source. The same theme can appear in several forms, so it helps to decide first whether you want a flat panel, a standing lamp or a hanging lantern.

On the author's model page, look at the stated size and scale, the number of parts and how they join, and whether the design needs supports. Check which material and settings the author lists, since translucent filament behaves differently from opaque filament, and look at photos of real prints to judge wall thickness and how evenly the light spreads.

If a search returns too few results, try synonyms such as lightbox, night light, lithophane, lamp shade or tealight holder. Related topics like book nooks, LED kits, dioramas and desk decor often lead to similar files. Adding a theme word, for example gothic, fantasy, animal or space, narrows the list further.

FAQ

Domande frequenti

What is a lithophane lamp?

A lithophane is a thin printed panel whose thickness varies across the surface. When it is backlit, those differences in thickness show an image, and lamps and lanterns built around such panels are common in this collection.

Which filament works for a lamp shade?

Opaque filament gives a solid silhouette, while translucent or white filament lets light through and softens it. The author's page usually names the material and the settings used for the print shown in the photos.

Do these models need supports?

It depends on the shape: overhangs, bridges and thin cutouts often call for them, while simple shells may not. Check the model page and the print photos before slicing.

Can a wax candle go inside a printed lantern?

Some designs are sized for LED tealights and others for wax candles, and the author's page usually states which one the model was made for. Printed parts can deform near a flame, so follow what the author describes.
